It could also be a coincidence, seeing as those were the only two sets of spirits that hadn't been permanently brought back to the game yet.
Still, here's hoping that it's a good sign for Geno, and that we get a character announcement (or at least a new spirit event) soon. (though if it is a new spirit event, hopefully it's something relatively harmless as opposed to some kind of gut punch - I'm not sure if post-launch spirit events show that a character won't be included, but it doesn't seem like a great sign)

Nintendo and Square spirits? This can only mean one thing...

I didn't realize that Nintendo Power had 8 SMRPG cards made and that there are even more of these cards that were made in Japan. I just found this out and wanted to share in case others found it interesting. It gives me one more thing I have to hunt down and collect.

Who else gets goosebumps when This Version starts to play at 0:08?
8 = DLC # 8
He is here.
I can’t wait to hear the whole new remix by Yoko in this reveal, OMG, that will be insane.

Apparently, not many characters from Spin Off games seem to make it as playables in the Smash Bros. series, if I am not mistaken. If Geno gets in, do you guys think he will open the door for more Spin Off characters becoming playable, since Geno did debut in a Spin Off game?

I never even knew these existed. Its always a joy to discover new merchandise for Super Mario RPG 24 years after the game's release. [Also, Jonny is quite an interesting choice for a card and its cool that even he has some sort of merchandise].

I appreciate the well wishes in this thread, but I prefer we focus on Geno's rebirthday. if it ever comes
To be most fair, though, a good amount of the games represented in Smash follow a rather loose canon if any at all, so it's hard to say who qualifies as a spinoff character to another even within a franchise, Mario is exceptionally notorious in this aspect, I would say... but what about Cloud and Hero? Really in the same boat...
That depends on what you consider a "spin off". According to this definition shamelessly lifted from Wikipedia:
The truest spinoff franchise represented in Smash by this logic is Persona, which is a spinoff of Shin Megami Tensei, but it's also fair to say that Yoshi as represented is a spinoff franchise from Mario. To get a little more contentious, every Zelda character in Smash right now hails from a different Zelda title and each could be considered a spinoff from the other.

Me neither. I'm so excited. If you end up looking for them these 8 English ones are actually pretty reasonable in price but forget about it for the other Japanese ones I didn't see anything below like $300 for them.
I would say yes. I would think if they're a big enough character the door could be open to them thanks to Geno. I think Geno is a very special case in many ways when it comes to Smash and obviously he means a lot to me, but Im not going to fool myself into thinking he's the only deserving character from a spinoff game.

I'm happy that the Octopath spirit event is coming back. They're the only spirits I've been missing.
If it means Linkle can get in, I'd take it. Or Impa from either HW1/AoC.

Donkey Kong Country is either a spin-off or sister series of Mario depending on how you look at it, Diddy Kong Racing is a spin-off of DKC and Banjo-Kazooie is a spin-off of DKR, so I don't think they'd restrict a character from appearing in Smash because they're from a spin-off.

Hmm, I think Nintendo treats Mario and DK as their very own thing. Mario played as a villain and later has his very own Platforming games. Banjo was never intended to be a DK character. He was in Diddy Kong racing most likely to promote the upcoming game. Same thing with Conker.

It's kind of interesting to think about—Mario's first appearance ever was as the protagonist in Donkey Kong (or antagonist if you were rooting for the ape) despite the fact that the game was titled after Donkey himself. It would be like naming a Sonic game "Eggman". That said, Super Mario Bros was made four years after Donkey Kong, so Mario is technically a spin off of Donkey Kong, especially since Mario didn't even get his name (was originally dubbed "Jumpman") until his own game was made.
EDIT: Imagine a parallel universe where Donkey Kong had ended up as the mascot of Nintendo...

I had to look it up, but apparently Jumpman got renamed to Mario just a year after the original Donkey Kong, in DK Jr.
In your underwear? You know that is disgusting.
Oh wait; who am I to talk? I'd be doing the same thing, myself!

Guys guys guys! Man what a day! While looking at these cards I just discovered I also found that there was a SMRPG (and a paper Mario) board game. Too bad I also can't find that for an affordable price but it's been really cool to find more merch for the game than I knew existed.

That's neither a spirit event nor a tournament

Sports Mix is Square Enix developed and has Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest characters so I assume Para's implying that, along with the Octopath and Paper Mario spirits returning, this means there's going to be something Square and Nintendo related tomorrow.
I mean, I guess we'll see? Idk man lol

Publisher = Nintendo (again, duh)
EDIT: In addition to that, still no sign of Square Enix games going up on sale on Nintendo's website. Hmm.

Great essay man, at 33 years old myself, you nailed all of my thoughts on Geno. I feel the same way you do about him.
